STORING THE USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
ON DELIVERY OF THE APPLIANCE
INTRODUCTORY COMMENT
The aim of this manual is to provide customers with all the information needed to use the appliance in the safest, most appropriate and most
autonomous way. It includes information concerning technical aspects, safety, operation, appliance downtime, maintenance, spare parts and
scrapping. Operators and qualied technicians must read the instructions in this manual carefully before carrying out any operation on the
appliance. If in doubt about the correct interpretation of instructions, contact your nearest Customer Service Centre to obtain the necessary
clarications.
This manual is aimed at operators and qualied technicians responsible for appliance maintenance. Operators must not perform operations
that should be carried out by qualied technicians. Hillyard cannot be held liable for damages resulting from failure to comply with this
prohibition.
The Use and Maintenance Manual must be stored in its special pouch close to the appliance, protected from liquids and anything else that
could compromise its legibility.
When the machine is delivered to the customer, an immediate check must be performed to ensure all the material mentioned in the shipping
documents has been received, in addition to verifying that the equipment has not been damaged during transportation. If this is the case, the
carrier must ascertain the extent of the damage at once, informing our customer service o󰀩ce. It is only by prompt action of this type that the
missing material can be obtained, and compensation for damage successfully claimed.
Any type of equipment can only work properly and e󰀨ectively if used correctly and kept in full working order by performing the maintenance
operations described in the attached documentation. You should therefore read this instruction manual carefully, consulting it again if issues
arise while using the machine. If necessary, remember that our assistance service (organised in collaboration with our dealers) is always
available for advice or direct intervention.

SAFETY
SERIAL NUMBER PLATE
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No accident prevention programme can be e󰀨ective without the full co-operation
of the operator who is directly responsible for machine operation. The majority of occupational accidents that happen both in the workplace or
whilst moving are caused by failure to respect the most basic safety rules. An attentive, careful operator is most e󰀨ective guarantee against
accidents and is fundamental in order to implement any prevention programme.
The serial number plate is located on the rear part of the device,
indicating its general characteristics (in particular, the serial number).
The serial number is a very important piece of information and should
always be provided together with any request for assistance or when
purchasing spare parts.
